Partner Logistics Develops New Automated Entry Systems
Partner Logistics has developed an automated entry system for inbound traffic at their warehouse in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, in order to further improve accuracy and efficiency within the supply chain.
Inbound traffic at the facility was previously operated with the use of manual labour. However, with the new system, drivers can enter the data of their load into a touch screen system linked directly to the warehouse management system which then allows access to the warehouse site.
The benefits of the new system include maximising efficiency and speed through minimising human error and intervention. The system also allows a more accurate overview of the specific details of each load therefore ensuring products are correctly accounted for and customers always receive them on time.
Jon Miles, Head of UK Operations, says: “At Partner Logistics, we pride ourselves on continuously improving our high standards of efficiency and accuracy. The new entry system at Wisbech not only highlights this but also adds to the extensive automation already utilised within all of our warehouses.”
Partner Logistics is a market leader in Europefor the provision of highly automated warehousing primarily for frozen foods. The company operates six facilities – two in the UK, three in the Netherlands and one in Belgium. For further information visit www.partnerlogistics.eu.
